About Us

Where the hardest working clubmakers build clubs that outperform everybody.

With a legacy spanning more than two decades, our story began in 1997 when Derek Murray opened a golf shop in Co Kildare. While at the Czech Open, he was on board the custom fitting tour trucks. This pivotal experience ignited his passion for clubmaking and propelled him on a path to clubmaking courses in Golfsmith UK, PING and Callaway in USA, he returned to the European Tour working as as a club builder on the Cleveland Tour Van. 

Derek ran the whole show with Don by his side and soon after Christine and Jill joined making it a full family business. In 2011, we moved to Killeen Castle Golf Club and established a state-of-the-art Workshop and ClubRoom to give an immersive custom fit experience.

We are very different to a normal golf shop, we dont have a huge showroom floor full of clubs. We have real target greens, high-quality range balls, and cutting-edge TrackMan 4 launch monitor to gather extra data for precise fitting. This performance-focused environment ensures that every golfer receives a truly personalised club fitting. 

Derek has overseen 25,000+ fittings for golfers of all abilities enabling golfers to experience the performance benefits of different club configurations first hand.

All the major golf companies are represented with adapted heads that allow for a shaft to be screwed into the head to allow for instant testing from brands such as Callaway, TaylorMade, Mizuno, Titleist, PING, Cobra and EvnRoll. We have a huge range of custom shafts and offer options not available elsewhere.

Our dedication to crafting exceptional custom-fitted golf clubs sets us apart from the competition. We take immense pride in our zero-tolerance Workshop, where every club is meticulously built to exacting standards.

For golfers seeking a truly personalised club fitting experience, the first step is to book your custom fit appointment to be tested and measured in The ClubRoom, then order your club to be built by our Master ClubMaker.
